Never heard of this being connected to Fibro

Hello and welcome to our group,may I ask why do you think hammer toe is related to fibro?

This deformity can affect any toe on your foot. It most often affects the second or third toe. Although a hammer toe may be present at birth, it usually develops over time due to arthritis or wearing ill-fitting shoes, such as tight, pointed heels. In most cases, a hammer toe condition is treatable. I have had fibro for over 30 years and have never heard this having any connection to fibro.

I see you have left your post unlocked if you would like to lock it and keep what you post private to this community only this link will show you how.

Yes I have a hammertoe but I have had this as far back into childhood as I can remember. This was way before the fibro. I think I was born with it. It doesn’t bother me the neuropathy trumps the hammertoe.
